Herculean task
by jadia4708au

Lately world leaders have consented to some session

May be Herculean task but agreed to reduce tension

Hunger, death and starvation looming over horizon

Atmosphere is also not favourable with depletion of ozone’s



We are spending millions on outer space

May we call it futile and mad race?

Even one percent of it may reduce the poverty

Need not watch countless deaths with pity



How much do we loose on internal fights?

Why scores of people loose over legitimate rights?

Even land of liberty face danger and not feel at ease

Have they no right to continue and live with peace?



Our forefathers had dreamed of free world

Warm relations with all and war hysteria in cold

They gave us freedom with thought of expression

No to all measures which lead to suppression



I think it may take very long years

Good appeals may also fall on deaf ears

Weak may have fear of complete annihilation

Sovereignty and legitimacy may loose its relation



Some of worst fears are likely to disappear

World may live in peace and no constant fear

Peace efforts may yield result but brunt bear

No War, no war but peace words we may hear



Over the years we lived under constant shadow

War hysteria and no room for peace window

How many have lost lives leaving behind widows

Can’t we honestly adhere and take simple vows



Generations after generation may inherit the legacy

Hate and distrust may rule and have fallacy

Let us build good foundation to last for long

History may judge and not prove us wrong



Be the first to rise from the grave

You are sons of soils and equally brave

It is you who will lead the peaceful world

Always happiness with constant fears at hold
